Overview: Owlchemy Labs started making hit VR games when the technology was in its early days, and they're ready to share insight into the unique problem-solving methods they've developed. While studios are putting out more-complex games than ever before, there are still significant technical limitations with what can run on a VR headset at a reasonable frame rate.
